What are voodoo dolls?
They are basically humanoid shaped dolls used in 'magical' practices to influence someone from a distance. Although they are usually associated with negative connotations, such as wanting to harm the person to whom this 'magic' is directed, the truth is that historically, these dolls were used for positive results, such as attracting success, protection, health, fortune and even love.
Among some of their most common uses, their purposes vary between spiritual connections between who performed the ritual and for whom it is intended; to transmit energies (both positive and negative); healing rituals, as well as more negative purposes such as wanting to cause harm from a distance, manipulate the 'target' or other desires for suffering.
